BLS-HEADQUARTERS RELOCATION PROJECT

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide professional Project Management and Construction Management Advisory services that use project management techniques to oversee and manage the planning, design, construction, turnover, and occupancy phases of the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ ongoing relocation program. The Contractor shall provide BLS with written evaluations, recommendations, estimates; schedules; presentations;

meeting agendas and minutes; field, inspection, and safety reports; outreach materials and other documentation defined herein. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this PWS and all resulting orders.

1.2 Background: The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), an agency within the Department of Labor (DOL), is executing an ongoing program to relocate the BLS National Office Headquarters from its current location at the Postal Square Building (PSB) in Washington, D.C.

This prospectus level relocation project currently establishes the future location as the Suitland Federal Center (SFC) in Suitland, Maryland. The proposed building currently has two occupants, the Census Bureau (Census) and the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), that BLS will join.

As such, the relocation program entails interdependencies related to shifting Census and BEA in order to open space for BLS.

The primary objective of this Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract is to provide all necessary support to meet relocation program objectives, assisting BLS in the delivery of a project that meets agency mission, timeline, quality and budget requirements, while satisfying all the statutes, regulations, policies applicable to this work.

To satisfy program requirements, the BLS requires Project Management and Construction Management services throughout the planning, design, construction, burn-in, turnover, and decommissioning phases of this project while also coordinating change management, contracts activities, and other ancillary services related to BLS requirements within the scope provided in this PWS and as negotiated and detailed in each order.

1.3 Objectives: The objective of this requirement is to provide Project Management and Construction Management Advisory services to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in support of an ongoing relocation program.

1.4 Scope: The Bureau of Labor Statistics intends to award one indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to a vendor with the expertise to provide Project Management and Construction Management Advisory services that include, but are not limited to: program management and coordination; record keeping; requirements development and planning;

construction management and design-build quality assurance and inspections; cost estimating;

schedule management; communications; and change management. Critical to the success of this contract is the Contractor’s familiarization with project management best practices as well as the Federal and local statutes, regulations, standards, guidelines, policies, and documents that a design-build contractor is required to follow when completing a GSA capital project. The Contractor shall also assist the BLS in ensuring that stakeholder and contract requirements are coordinated and enforced with regard to program scope, schedule, budget, quality, and risk.

The BLS requires a contracting vehicle that utilizes an experienced company to provide

1 Represents current conditions at Suitland Federal Center (without BLS) sound management advice regarding all services to be performed, collaborate with the entire program team, anticipate problems and delays to minimize or eliminate their adverse impact to the project schedule, budget, and approved design, promptly resolve conflicts, mitigate circumstances that could lead to claims, and keep BLS advised of any potential disputes and program delays, and exercise due diligence to ensure that all aspects of this program meet client requirements as well as codes, regulations, standards, and construction documents.

1.4.1 Key Responsibilities: The following are key Contractor responsibilities:

To directly assist BLS on a daily basis with the regular communication and management of program progress.

To track and report to BLS on a daily basis the status of critical program components, including but not limited to:

o All program schedule and budget details, ensuring that the program proceeds in a risk-averse manner with attention to minimizing unforeseen costs and delays;

o Program stakeholder-dependent information, where such information may be missing, outdated, or not coordinated with information from other stakeholders;

To directly assist BLS with the coordination of requirements gathering and management through the completion of the design of the new facility, and to verify program requirements through the build-out of the facility;

and to provide Quality Assurance and inspection support through build-out, burn-in, turnover and decommissioning.

To directly assist with all required coordination activities amongst BLS, Census, BEA and GSA.

To directly assist with communications and change management activities.

1.4.2 Project Delivery Team Roles and Responsibilities: Successful project delivery requires close coordination across several entities, involving complex interdependencies. BLS envisions a highly collaborative design build delivery approach for this project. The expectation is that the Contractor will work closely with all program stakeholders to assist BLS with its management of project components, coordinating with elements of the GSA team, GSA’s contractors, as well as Census and BEA entities.

The Project Delivery Team is still forming at this time and is subject to change. It is anticipated to include the BLS project management team and functional work stream leaders, the GSA project management team, GSA’s contractors such as the planning Architect Engineer (GSA AE) for the Feasibility Study, the program Construction Manager (GSA CM) and Commissioning Agent (GSA CxA), GSA’s Design-Builder (GSA DB), in-house GSA personnel, and various other BLS contractors (such as an FFE vendor and others to-be-determined).

The Contractor shall not issue oral instructions to, or make any agreements with, the GSA Design-Build contractor or any other contractor performing services on the project. The Contractor shall understand and fully comply with the principles of Federal contracting, including contract administration in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that BLS’ scope and quality requirements are met within the limitations of schedule and budget. The Contractor shall serve as a facilitator and coordinator of the activities of all parties to ensure that the project execution proceeds according to plan. During the planning phase, the Contractor shall confirm and develop project requirements, coordinate internal and external workgroups, advise on project schedule, project risks and mitigation strategies, and assist with strategic communications and change management efforts.

During the design phase, the Contractor shall perform design reviews, stakeholder requirements coordination and review against the design submissions, and scheduling and cost evaluation services.

The GSA CM is expected to be an important point of contact for the Contractor through the completion of the program. The Contractor will be required to assist with the coordination of any commissioning activities with any simultaneous BLS TI activities.

This stakeholder is responsible for providing information pertinent to the evaluation, costs and program schedule phasing, and preliminary test-fits at the proposed co-location facility. It is also responsible for producing a Workplace Recommendations Report for BLS, BEA and Census that includes a Program of Requirements for each agency.
